Everything is scintillating and Chloe is worried.

That sums up my thoughts about the book^ Oh my goodness someone should tell the author that words besides scintillating exist, he uses it to describe what feels like everything. The author is very repetitive always eluding to how worried Chloe is when Alexander leaves his body. Also, MC is kind of a cry baby, and I guess it’s part of his character but he’s so whiny sometimes it’s annoying. It was a good book, but someone seriously needs to tell David that words like “sparkling”, “swirling”, “glittering”, or even “twinkling” also exist, so he doesn’t have to use scintillating like five thousand times.

I enjoyed the start of this series

loved it! I enjoyed the start of this series just the first 3 books but I liked the start.

Omnibus

It's nice to get a three-year in an audible book. It's also nice for. It to be something I have read before.

Great story!

The story line was great. It got somewhat predictable, but their were some curve balls.

Recommend for all fantasy fans

Decent

Decent, but can get a little tedious at times. The author hammers on a few points a bit to frequently which can get annoying.

The narrator is good but not the best I have heard.

Overall I enjoyed it and will be looking to listen to the rest of the series.

good story

Well done. Well narrated.  will be looking forward to the next in the series. You should buy this book.

Awesome series

I was hooked with the first book and couldn’t stop until I finished the series. I am not one to give a 5 or do a review even if the book is mediocre. The series is excellent and compelling. It keeps you entertained and engaged. You fall in love with the main characters and the story! I also enjoyed the main character having a new enemy at every turn.

Nice Story, Great Listen

For anyone the likes fantasy they should get this omnibus. It is a good story. I very much enjoyed listening to it. It kind of reminded me of listening to a D&D adventure (less the elves). The writing is good and the story is tried and true. However, that is what keeps it from being 5 stars. Some of it seems a little contrived as if the author is doing the 'paint by the numbers' version of fantasy writing. I do not want that to take away from this book though, It really is an enjoyable read/listen. To point of fact, I bought the physical copies of the books as well. And for a single credit this is MORE than worth it.

Good storyline but lacking....

Story line was well laid out and performance by Derek Perkins was exceptional as always. My only complaint was the lack of imagination when it came to the descriptions of things throughout the book. Thesaurus maybe??..
Maybe I've been a bit jaded by GRRM, but there is no tragedies. How all the main characters make it through without so much as a loss of limb or even a lasting scar is beyond me. haha. All in all it was an enjoyable book. I will be listening to the remainder of the series.
